CoolCure set to take the heat out of hydration

New Technology Solutions LLC, a subsidiary of Silicone Solutions (Cuyahoga Falls, OH, USA), has developed a patent-pending (PCT US15/11849) CoolCure technology to significantly reduce or eliminate the heat of hydration.

CoolCure works by minimising byproducts (calcium hydration) and creating more efficient reaction in the cement curing process to generate more strength, "from 40-100 per cent improved strength," claims New Technology Solutions.

The Coolcure concrete admixture creates a low-heat cement and and reduces the potential for delayed alkali-silica reaction, according to New Technology Solutions.
